Many people who visit Japanese BBQ restaurants are captivated by the delicious salt and pepper green onions.

I myself am one of them. As I get older, I can’t eat too much of the strong-flavored marinades or dipping sauces anymore. Instead, I can’t stop eating simple salt or sliced ​​meat with some pickles or other side dishes.

Today, I’m sharing a recipe for salt and pepper green onions that I often make at home, just like the ones from Japanese BBQ restaurants. It’s very simple to make; it only takes a few minutes in the microwave. If you have a microwave, you can also stir-fry all the ingredients in a frying pan—simple and quick.

Besides eating it with sliced ​​meat, it can also be used to mix with noodles or served with rice. It’s versatile and incredibly delicious, so let it make its appearance at your BBQ this Mid-Autumn Festival!

The ingredients are just chopped green onions, sesame oil, and salt and pepper. The sesame oil should be about 1/3 the amount of chopped green onions. Adjust the amount of salt and pepper to your liking, and you can also add some bonito flakes to taste.

Place all ingredients in a large bowl, cover with microwave-safe heat-resistant plastic wrap, and microwave at 500W for 2 minutes. Remove and stir with a spoon.

Microwave time can be adjusted depending on the amount of chopped scallions and the microwave power. Besides scallions, adding some onions makes a delicious salt and pepper scallion dish too!
